Area Representative's Annual Report (Year ending 31st December 2011). 25th March 2012 Area Course: No
course was held. Gradings: Held at the end of the Summer School with insufficient numbers to procede! Southport Summer School: Was staged at Our Lady of Lourdes Judo Club, Southport. The Instruction this year was given by the Vice President Mr GR Mealing 7th Dan, Mrs Moira Newton 5th Dan Mr AW Newton 5th, Dan and Miss Ann Scott 5th Dan. Attendance was very good with support from clubs outside the Area.
An FPJ level 1 course was staged on the weekend immediately before Southport Summer School. Instruction of the course was under the direction of Mrs. P. Grigg 5th Dan the officially appointed director of FPJ courses for the. Only 10 members were in attendance and the following weekend the FPJ level 2 only 7 members attended, these disappointing figures resulted in an overall loss to the Area of £294.80 pence. The Area Committee has decided that the Lancs Area can no longer stage both the FPJ courses and are considering the option of holding just one in the year and that would be at the end of the Summer School week. This is very much regretted but with other events not generating surpluses over expenditure it is no longer possible to carry on with 2 such loss making events.
Area Squads: No sessions were held. Area Championships 2011: As in the previous year they were unfortunately cancelled due to lack of entries. Area Kata: 2011. Due to the lack of numbers at the previous year’s course, the Area decided to stage a one day Kata Course in May. Attendance was sadly less than expected and outgoing exceeded income by £6.96p. A disappointing but sustainable outcome and the course will be in next years list of events. In closing this report, I wish to thank those of you who have supported the efforts of your Area Committee during this past year.
A.W. Newton (Mr). Area Representative
